With most Wii games thus far it’s as simple as adding waggle or putting IR into an otherwise cookie cutter design – most first party Nintendo games are even guilty of this. With Z-Dub, though, it goes beyond that, as the game asks the user to perform actions that simply can’t be done without the Wii remote. This is the type of engaging, innovative interaction we all imagined when seeing the controller for the first time, and it’s exciting to see a developer that really gets what the system is all about. Even more than Mario Galaxy, Zelda, or Wii Sports, Zack & Wiki delivers an experience that you can only find on Wii. |
All told, Zack & Wiki is a winner. It might not win you over with its characters or story, but it will with its wonderfully crafted puzzles and sharp control mechanics. It's just the sort of game Wii owners have been pining for, the sort of game that blends accessibility and challenge into one seamless whole, and does it without devolving into yet another minigame collection. And best of all? This game is retailing for only $40. If you own a Wii, Zack & Wiki belongs in your collection. |
- Combines clever use of the Wii remote and positively brilliant puzzle design - Variety is astounding - Piecing it all together comes with a great sense of satisfaction - You will be scratching your head with some regularity, the puzzles are never so esoteric to leave you feeling cheated - Charm to burn; with an energetic sense of humor and an appealing visual style reminiscent of Wind Waker. - One of the Wii's best-looking titles; not for technical merit but because of the care that went into creating a very complete aesthetic. - Animation is especially fantastic - 20+ hours; adventure is plenty long - never, ever drags - Tons of extra stuff to do. - Concern about name of game; may not do well at retail because of it. - Truly deserves to be a big hit - One of the system's most creative, entertaining titles. |
GI is worried about the presentation possibly having a negative effect on the success and appreciation of the game. They also noted that Wiki has a high pitched baby voice that may drive you crazy. For the most part the motion controls are well done though GI noted some difficulty with the fishing and music motions. Some of the puzzles are considered innovative. The intro is considered very jarring but if you can stick it out through that you may grow to appreciate the characters. The second opinion says that it could have used a bit more polish since at times the Wii controls made the gameplay "sloppier and less exact than it should be". They also say that the game provides a "mix of intriguing puzzles and novel motion-based minigames that's like nothing else out there". |
